At the same time, in order to avoid Shu repeating again, he personally sat at the forefront of the Bashu battlefield and appeared on this side of the battlefield in a high-profile manner, bluffing the banner of the army that had been transferred, and confronting the Shu army, which was not only an act, but also a dishonesty that was ready to deal with the Shu people at any time, and from time to time he also pretended to fight a small battle.

Ba Dongan also ordered Eren to return to the capital to report his decision to the lord of Ba.

When he heard that Eren had given a jade artifact that he had treasured for many years as a gift to a minister of Shu, he was moved to tears and ordered a heavy reward.

——— later, some people commented: This time the success of the temporary peace with Shu was one of the two great achievements in the life of the secretary of state of Ba, the doctor Eren, and his other merit was that he had three outstanding children: the eldest son E Zhuo, the second son E Yue, and the daughter E Guihua.

At about the same time, the news that the Chu army had captured a large area of land in the southeast of Ba (now southeast of Chongqing) and the salt spring of Yushui (Funiu Mountain) was quickly reported to the capital of Chu, and King Xuan of Chu was overjoyed and convened a court meeting.

At the same time, the prince of Chu led a large army out of Yiling and launched an attack on the eastern part of Ba, incorporating the Yangtze River basin below Tongling (now Fuling) into the territory of Chu, and then going against the Yangtze River to destroy Ba.

Shang Cai Ling Jingshe did not agree with the proposition of Zhao Xixian and others, and put forward his own opinion.

Shang Cai Lingjingshe said: "My king, my subordinates think: Ba has not yet declined to the point of collapse, and my Chu State has not yet become strong to the point of being invincible. Don't look at the current Shu State and I jointly attack Pakistan, and the Ba State can't raise its head, but once Shu finds out that I have the intention of swallowing Ba Guo in one go, maybe it will stop attacking Pakistan, or even fall to Pakistan. ”

"Tell me about it. The king of Chu believed and doubted.

"Shu attacked Pakistan for land, population and wealth. The feud between Bashu is true, but the king of Shu never wants to see others annex Ba, let alone my Chu annexation of Ba, and obtain Jiangzhou, the capital of Ba, the water gateway directly into the Shu Plain, thus directly posing a threat to Shu.

"The people of Shu don't understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but they want to use my strength to weaken and suppress Pakistan. However, no one would rather have a weak neighbor who has a grudge than a strong neighbor who may turn his face at any time. Back then, the Bashu jointly attacked our side, and this is the reason. ”

The king of Chu listened to Jingshe's remarks and said: "Shu and Ba have accumulated enmity for generations, and they may not unite with Ba to fight against me." However, what Jing Aiqing said is also very reasonable. ”

As the saying goes: heroes see the same thing. Jingshe's words to the king of Chu are almost the same as what the Baguo doctor Eren said to the king of Shu.

This Jingshe was a famous minister of Chu in the middle of the Warring States period. Seven years later (354 BC), the Wei general Pang Juan led an army to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao, and the Chu State ordered Yin Zhao to suggest not to rescue, so that Zhao Wei was defeated, Jing She did not agree with this view, he said that if so, it would make Wei have no scruples, and Zhao resented Chu, so it was better to send fewer troops to attack Wei. King Xuan of Chu agreed with Jingshe's point of view and ordered Jingshe to lead the Chu army to aid Zhao and seize the land of Suishui and Lishui.

At this time, Zhao Xi shirt has the "fox and fake tiger might" of "the north is afraid of Zhao Xi shirt, not afraid of the king of Chu", but his vision seems to be not as good as before.

Without further ado, the book will return to business.

So, the king of Chu dispelled the idea of conquering Ba immediately, but proposed to take the land of Ba first, cut off Ba first, and make the raw rice cooked into cooked rice.

The next question is who will be the coach to conquer the old capital of Pakistan.

The famous generals of the Chu State are like clouds, which is not a problem originally, but this issue has been debated.

Some people think that Zhuang Fu and Qu Rong have already shown good strength on the battlefield of Chuba, so it is most appropriate to promote one of the two to commander. Among them, most of the people related to the royal family and nobles supported Zhuang Fu because Zhuang Fu came from the Chu royal family, and the other part of the people from the Han family supported Qu Rong, because those in the know knew that Qu Rong was not from the Chu State surname Qu, but the descendants of Gu Yong.

The two opinions are different, and a third opinion appears: some people think that although it is Zhuang Fu and Qu Rong who are directly in command in the front, the first credit is the overall design of Yang Ming, the former lord of Yicheng, and Yang Ming knows Pakistan well, and he was the boss of Zhuang Fu and Qu Rong, so he is simply the best candidate.

The king of Chu finally agreed to this opinion, and ordered not only to reinstate Yang Ming, but also to promote one level, to lead the army in Yushuikou, Zhuang Fu and Qu Rong were both deputy marshals, and captured the entire territory of the lower reaches of Danfu Water and the capital of Baguo.

Chu general Yangming, more than two months ago, had arrived in Yicheng (now Enshi, Hubei) as a special observer envoy of the king of Chu, and discussed with Zhuang Fu, Zhaoyun and others the overall tactics of taking Yushui Salt Spring, received the decree of the king of Chu, rushed to Yushui Salt Spring overnight, only glanced at the coveted Yushui Salt Spring, and then marched to Yushuikou and returned to the battlefield.

The designer behind the Chu State Falba once again came to the foreground.

Yangming's old department, hearing Yangming's comeback, and then leading the major events of Vaba, ran to tell each other.

The capital of the state of Chu.

However, it is said that Dr. Chu Jing Ling is the uncle of Shang Cai Ling Jing Ling, and his uncle and nephew have extraordinary knowledge, and they are called "Erjing" at the time. However, some people believe that in terms of character, uncles are not as good as nephews.

Jing Ling learned the good news that the Chu army had taken the three major tribes of Ba Yuhou, the Yu clan, and the Gong clan and the Yushui Salt Spring, and entered the palace and said to the king of Chu: "I have come to congratulate the king!"

King Chu laughed and said, "It's early!"

Jing Ling said: "How do you say this?"

"It must be taken from Baoshan Salt Spring, Tongyi, and even Jiangzhou, and it is not too late to come and congratulate again. ”

"That's why the minister is coming today. The subordinates are worried that our king has forgotten the fangyi. ”

King Chu said: "Why do you say this?"

"The ministers are not in harmony with Yang Ming and Zhuang Fu. ”

The king of Chu said with a smile: "The three of them are all Ba Guotong, why is there any discord?"

Jing Ling shook his head slightly: "Zhuang Fu's acquisition of Yushui Salt Spring and Yuhou Clan, one of the three major salt springs in Pakistan, and Qu Rong, which obtained the two major clans of the Xuan Clan and the Gong Clan, are not equally compatible. However, if the old capital of Pakistan is obtained, it will be the icing on the cake. Therefore, Qu Rong and Zhuang Fu must have the meaning of contribution. And Yang Ming has always had a heart-to-heart relationship with Zhuang Fu, let Yang Ming be the commander, Qu Rong must have ideas. If so, it's not a good thing. ”

King Chu said: "From the point of view of the widow, it may not be, before this expedition, the widow had asked Yang Ming to recommend the candidate for the general of Vaba, and Qu Rong was one of the people he recommended. Yang Ming said that Qu Rong was a general who knew the Ba people very well, knew each other and knew his confidant, and did not slack off in a hundred battles. If Yang and Qu are filthy, how can Yang Ming recommend Qu Rong?"

"Definitely. Yang Ming recommended the generals who were the best able to understand his intentions and achieve his intentions. Subordinates: Yang Ming will definitely not say anything to Qu Rong about recommending him. ”

King Chu smiled slightly and said, "Of course, the widow will not say it to others. Will the plan be settled?"

"When the army was first dispatched, Qu Rong from Yuanshui, Zhuang Fu from Yishui, two ways to attack, before the Yushui Funiu Mountain salt spring, the two worked together, down the Funiu Mountain, pointing directly to Danfushui, they will have their own calculations. A weighty figure must be sent to supervise the formation (supervising the army). ”

The King of Chu nodded and said, "Who do you think is going to supervise the formation?"

Jing Ling said: "This is not what the minister dares to think. ”

King Chu said with a smile: "I think it is the most suitable for Qing to go, you have a friendship with the three generals, and you are also a descendant of the office, which is just right." ”

Jing Ling thanked: "The minister should not disgrace his mission!"

The king of Chu was overjoyed.

Chu doctor Jing Ling arrived in Danfushui, as expected, he couldn't see it on the surface, but Qu Rong was not convinced that Yang Ming would be the chief general of the two Chu armies - he didn't know that in the process of serving as the chief general of the Chu army on the Yuanshui Road, there was quite a controversy, Yang Ming once met the king of Chu and thought that Qu Rong had a deep study of the military and people's feelings of Pakistan, and he was the right person to Vaba.

In addition, to launch a large-scale campaign, the preparations were not a day or two, so the Chu army was slow to march to the lower reaches of Danfu River, Yangming and Zhuang Fu were stationed on the south bank of Yushuikou, and Qu Rong was stationed on the opposite bank.

Jing Ling advanced to the commander's camp of Yangming, passed on the reward of the king of Chu to the soldiers who participated in the battle, and then asked Qu Rong to take the order.

After a while, Qu Rong arrived, and after the salute was finished, Jing Ling said: "My king ordered the two roads to join forces to fight against Ba, and ordered General Yangming to be the main general, General Qu Rong, and General Zhuang Fu as the deputies, and captured Hu'an Mountain and the old capital of Ba. ”

When Qu Rong heard this, he thought to himself: "I took the trouble to take the Shang Yu hundreds of miles that the king wanted, but it was not as good as Yangming It took several years, how many military and material resources, and Zhuang Fu took advantage of the situation to obtain a salt spring in Yushui and was reused.

Qu Rong knew that his thoughts could not be revealed, so he pretended to be calm, saluted Yang Ming, and said, "The last general will listen to the general's orders!"

Raise the light and return the courtesy.

Qu Rong met Zhuang Fu again and said, "If it weren't for the general stumbling over Ba Yuan'an, I wouldn't have successfully reached Danfushui." ”

"It should be me who should say thanks. Zhuang Fu's personal cultivation is quite high, and he said politely.

Just as he was talking about business, someone came to report: "A small group of Pakistani troops has come to visit my camp!"

Yang Ming said: "Don't worry about him! China is a big country of sailors, and the boats are strong and sharp, and the sailors of Wu State, who was known as the first in the world, are still defeated, not to mention the Ba people in the small river!"

This time, the battle in the southeast of Ba was almost entirely carried out according to Yang Ming's intentions, and the salt spring of Funiu Mountain was taken down, and his wish for several years was fulfilled, and Yang Ming could not help but be a little proud and did not take the Ba army seriously.

Jing Ling, the superintendent, said: "The general has always been cautious, and today's words seem to be proud. ”

Yang Ming hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for being vigilant!"

Yang Ming ordered: "Come on! Bomb the Ba people away!"

After the order went down, a Chu army boat division was ordered to welcome the Pakistan army boat team.

On the boat of the Pakistani army, the head of the boat division of the big tribe of Hu'an Mountain, Tu Tianqi, said: "Withdraw!" Several boats turned their heads and flew down the water, and the Chu army returned by itself.

When the boat came to a corner, there was a boat on each side of the river, and when they whistled, three people came out of the jungle on both sides, and the people were dressed up.

It turned out that Tu Tianqi went to the camp of the Chu Army Boat Division to investigate whether it was false, and these six people were real.

Several Ba people got on the boat, merged all the way back to Longxikou, and went to the camp of General Ba Guo and General Longwu Menglong together.

At this time, Yu Menglong is actually equivalent to the role of the deputy commander of the Danfu Shuiba National Army, and the coach is of course the eighth prince Ba Yuanan.
